And that's the bottom line. And it's soooo not rocket science.Someone who demands that any man she dates does X, Y, and Z, will date a man that does exactly that. It's tautological, but true nonetheless. It's the fact that we compromise, and settle for treatment other than that, that has informed dudes that they don't have to work QUITE that hard anymore.That's allllllll our fault. Because I assure you, if men could not get p*ssy (that asterisk is for Panama) without opening doors, and paying for dinner, and all the other things... they would open doors and pay for dinner and do all the other things. I assure you. However, they DON'T HAVE to do all that... so in situations when they don't... they WON'T. *shrug* I was actually going to say it’s not the men but the women who have changed, however, my reasoning was different.

Back in the old days men were the head of the home. Paid all the bills and provided money to the wife for shopping and misc items." This was not the case in my family at all- my grandparents both worked- for awhile they were sharecroppers but later they both had jobs outside of the home. They had different responsibilities in the home, but there was none of this "leave it to beaver" type living- and the same goes with my parents. I think the ideal you mentioned only existed for the privileged and is not realistic for the general population- so why should we strive for it?
